Democratic senators are proposing plans that would drastically reduce taxes on the middle and upper middle class. Tax cuts are always popular with the people who receive them - but are they a good idea? Ben Ritz joins the podcast to discuss why Democrats keep proposing 'slopulism' ideas about the budget, why the budget math for huge tax cuts doesn't work, and why this approach is politically dangerous for Democrats.
